What are your favorite browser extensions?
Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!
Firefox Multi-Account Containers has to be one of my favorite extensions. Mixing work accounts and personal accounts in the same browser session but in different tabs has made my workflow much more efficient. You can force bind sites to a container so that you don't accidentally use your personal account for anything workplace related.
This is has been so useful in my attempts to go FireFox full time. I always had Edge and Firefox on the work laptop to separate things when needed, but the containers completely eliminated that.
My one critique would be if the assigned links wouldn’t open an empty tab when that specific container opens.
Definitely one of my favorites. My only wish is that they had a more flexible way to predefine lists of domains and containers and/or do wildcard matching for domains.
This one. I need to use Farcebook occasionally and this allows me to stay logged in without getting tracked elsewhere. Same for my Google account.
Have you figured out a way to combine it with windows, such that each window has a designated container, and all tabs open in that container?
Definetely libredirect. It redirects YouTube, Twitter, TikTok... requests to privacy friendly frontends.
I would like to add Indiewikibuddy. It's basically a more fully featured version of the FandomDotCom features of Libredirect.
For example, you can set it to redirect from the Skyrim Fandom.com to the UESP.
Dark Reader, because dark mode rocks.
@VulcanSphere
Count this as my vote as well. Take every other extension away (uBlock Origin excluded obv) but I simply can't endure the eye-searing pain of the internet without Dark Reader.
The browsers have their own dark mode, in chrome://flags or edge://flags, but in my experience they don't work as consistently, overall.
Yeah, you're right. They try but it's not the same.
Before Dark Reader I used to make custom dark theme CSS for all the sites that I frequented heavily and spent so much time tweaking things so it came out "mostly right".
Dark Reader isn't perfect all the time but the peace of mind it grants me is immeasurable:)
Wait, what? You can force any website to comply with your own CSS? How?
Yeah, there are extensions that enable injecting custom CSS. I'm using Stylus in Chrome (switched to that from Stylish about two years ago) and essentially you need to override the native CSS with lots of !important style declarations. Basically like Inspect Element but will load every time once the relevant website(s) is done loading.
If the HTML classes and ids are straightforwards that's fairly easy, like old.reddit for instance. But every time they change the classes you need to go in a manually tweak it. And once a site starts obfuscating their code it's not worth the effort anymore.
But it's possible and for a while I honed my meager CSS skills by doing my own bespoke stylesheets. :)
You can use dark reader and stylus (firefox extensions).
I use stylus to 'correct dark reader' or if i want write own style, or to change few elements on website.
I don't remember how, but in dark reader in settings you can define your colors (background etc.), you can even set font! I use for example nerd font "CodeNewRoman NF" it works.

I shared one on reddit that replaces pictures of spiders with kittens and it was met with a pretty shocking amount of hatred and vitriol brought my way, so nervous to share it here. But still I thought it was nice.
I had a similar one but for the former president. I still have it installed and it always confuses me for a second until I remember it.
Yo could share a link that. I'd love to see it in action when a prowl the cesspool that is r/politics on Reddit. XD.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/make-firefox-kittens-again/
That's the one. May your day be brighter with more kittens while doomscrolling the news.
Wait. No, share it. Please! 🥺
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/spiders-kittens-image-replacer/
here it is for firefox. I think there's one for chrome and for edge too
Thanks for sharing. Just added it! lol
I really appreciate you!
Guys. It even works for Spider-Man.
I almost destroyed a phone once when I scrolled down to an unexpected spider image, my fight or flight response kicked in, and I threw the phone across the room. So this sounds amazing!!
If only mobile Firefox had even a little bit of extension support.
Man, fuck the haters. This sounds amazing and I'm seriously considering using it lol
ublock origin and firefox enhanced tracking protection already does what Decentraleyes is supposed to do, so its not needed if you already use firefox and ublock origins.
also, try out following extwnsions too:
Other than Ublock Origin and Bitwarden, these are some of my favourites :
Temporary Containers is a new favourite of mine. It works just like container tabs, but the difference is that it deletes the history of that tab once it's closed, similar to Incognito/Private instance.
Reddit Comments for Youtube - If a youtube video has been linked to reddit, then it basically gives a small box which lists all the subs the video has been linked to and shows you the comments. If you're logged into reddit, then it will allow you to comment as well.
Keepa for Amazon. Let's you track price history for any product, so you can see if a sale is actually a real sale or not.
Tab Session Manager - Basically lets you save tab sessions.
Enhancer for Youtube and Pockettube Subscription Manager - Gives various youtube enhancements.
Stylus - To style websites. I mainly use it to fix the youtube thumbnail and font size.
I use CamelCamelCamel for Amazon. Besides price history it allows notifications on sales or price drops.
Lmao that's my only use for stylus too. And like 5 years ago I changed the roblox logo to a cheez-it with stylus. I need to find more websites to use with it but last I checked the website to get themes was terribly slow. It's been a fat minute though.
Consent-O-Matic
Automatic handling of GDPR consent forms
DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
I mostly use this for the email protection (highly recommended!)
ScrollAnywhere
Drag scrollbar with middlemouse button anywhere on the page.
ScrollAnywhere is amazing. I've used BetterMouse on Mac for several months now and have grown accustomed to scrolling by click-dragging. Really wish there was some sort of similar app for Windows and Linux, but unfortunately I've spent hours searching and haven't found anything.
Consent-O-Matic is amazing, highly recommended.
uBlock Origin
PrivacyBadger
Return YouTube Dislike
SponsorBlock
Translate (Firefox doesnt have website translation as a native feature)
I run Firefox
I had stuff for Reddit... but since I've moved off the platform, that's been nixed. And for those of you using the cookie accepting apps... Why not just block the element with uBlock?
I use Decentraleyes and Privacy Badger on top of uBlock
I also use CanvasBlocker alongside these.
So, let's try to compile a list.
Honestly, I thought it will be shorter. It makes me appreciate the authors of all these add-ons even more. If it weren't for their efforts, web browsing would be a much less enjoyable experience.
In case you didn't know, the "I don't care about cookies" extension was recently sold to Avast. I don't know if anyone has seen them make any sketchy changes yet, but personally I didn't want to trust them and uninstalled it
Oh, well, that's too bad. Thank you for pointing this out!
Apparently, there is now a debloated fork "I still don't care about cookies" but the last update was in February and the issues are all open.
https://github.com/OhMyGuus/I-Still-Dont-Care-About-Cookies
UPD: @nonsense@beehaw.org has mentioned a great alternative called Consent-O-Matic (MIT License)
So what would you recommend to replace it?
You could try Consent-O-Matic. That’s what I use. It also doesn’t simply agree to everything like the other one but chooses the most privacy-friendly option instead.
Currently I just deal with the banners (as annoying as they are) and shed a tear at the state of the modern internet.
Ublock Origin has annoyance filters that you can enable.
Does this work for you? I have that filter enabled but it doesn't really catch everything.
from https://beehaw.org/comment/80030:
uBO, of course. note: you guys don't need ClearURLs with this list added.
LibRedirect for automatically opening Youtube, Twitter, TikTok etc. links in their privacy-focused front-ends. I just make sure to disable all the instances by esmailelbob since he's a little homophobic shithead
Buster for automatic captcha solving
Consent-O-Matic automatically clicks through cookies banner to deny all the cookies that aren't necessary, which I like better than just hiding the cookie banner
Redirect AMP to HTML because fuck AMP and fuck Google
What? ...alright let's check the link.
Oh.
When you're so drenched in queerphobia that you explicitly forbid the use of your services to LGBTQIA+ people and their 'supporters'. Asbolutely normal and totally not deranged behavior.
Regarding AMP: Do people hate AMP or just Google's implementation/control of it? Because in theory everything AMP does is remove a lot of what gunks up websites these days. Anyone know if there's a Whoogle-like software that lets you self-host AMP links?
Other than the good ole ad blocker, sponsorblock is a godsend
My half-serious, half-assed alternative to SB: https://butter.sonnet.io
This is awesome
Dark Reader is amazing. Not just a great idea, but incredible execution.
It occasionally renders incorrectly, but yeah, I haven't been able to find a dark-mode extension better than this!
I just assumed it would be terrible because it's a hard problem to solve generally, but like 98% of the time I don't even realize it's on (and it's really easy to turn off). It's seriously incredible.
I'm using FF and I only have one extension, it's ublock origin
Cookieautodelete is sooo underrated.
Tree Style Tabs for Firefox gets installed on every Desktop install I use.
Haven't been able to live without it for at least 15 years now. I remember years ago the switch to the 'new' addon system when Firefox had a major update. I stayed on the old Firefox until Tree Style Tab was ported to the new one.
Wow thank you. I had no idea this was a thing!
Question: Does anyone know what security and privacy extensions are considered redundant in light of recent Firefox improvements in the past few years?
For example, I saw several people recommend Privacy Badger for example. I thought I heard somewhere that was considered not needed now. I do not know for sure so am frankly confused by this and some of the other extensions which I too use to use.
For me I have kind of stopped using most security/privacy extensions except uBlockOrigin and then just configuring Firefox rather tightly. Not sure if this is best approach or not. On one hand every extension increases the attack surface and the uniqueness of the browser so there is a point about less is better, on the other hand some may be useful too.
Thoughts? Thanks.
AFAIK you don't need HTTPS Everywhere as Firefox has a built-in setting for that, and Ublock Origin covers most privacy extensions when using "hard mode" like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, DDG Privacy Essentials, ClearURLs....
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Mixed_content/How_to_fix_website_with_mixed_content
Less is more when it comes to privacy extensions. You only really need UBlock Origin and that's it. Perhaps CanvasBlocker on FF if not using the Resist Fingerprinting setting, or JShelter if using a Chromium-based browser to fool naive fingerprinting scripts.
I see a bunch of people here still running Decentraleyes etc. when most of the local resources that extension provides are now over 4 years out of date and wouldn't be used over the newer versions delivered by remote CDNs anyway.
That said, while it is true that adding extensions will change your fingerprint, you're pretty much uniquely fingerprintable anyway due to a million other data points on a daily driver browser. If you're seriously looking to avoid being fingerprinted by more advanced fingerprinting scripts, running something like the TOR Browser or Mullvad Browser without changing anything will help since you'll blend in with anyone else using those very specific configurations.
i disagree. with this and parent comment.
i would argue: more is more.
the devil is in the details and how u choose to implement your system efficiently.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/chameleon-ext/
i guess one strategy is if u just need to have a smooth experience u can rapidly cut out cruft. this would lead to a much simpler experience and u would still retain a fair amount of privacy.
personally.. i would rather have all privacy switches available.. even if i rarely choose to have them enabled.
decentraleyes, https everywhere, privacy badger, duckduckgo essentials are the ones i know that are not needed with ublock origins + firefox's strict tracking protection
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/total-cookie-protection-and-website-breakage-faq#w_what-is-the-difference-between-enhanced-tracking-protection-and-total-cookie-protection
" Enhanced Tracking Protection
blocks cookies from companies that have been identified as trackers.
Total Cookie Protection
is an additional privacy protection built into Enhanced Tracking Protection. Total Cookie Protection provides more comprehensive protections against cookie-based tracking to ensure that no cookies can be used to track you from site to site as you browse the web. "
I think I use too many on Firefox ahahah
Ads and privacy
UBlock Origin (AdBlocker)
Privacy Badger (Blocks some trackers)
ClearURLs (removes tracking elements from URLs)
DeleteNonio (in my country, all newspapers are trying to force you to sign up for this service with an annoying popup)
Don't Track me Google (removes tracking from Google search result links)
Startpage.com (search engine)
Firefox Multi-Account containers/Facebook Container (so cookies cannot be accessed between all sites freely)
Reddit
Old Reddit Redirect (I really don't want the new design)
Reddit Enhancement Suite (nice features to have)
LeechBlock NG (to block Reddit during the blackout. See you next week...maybe)
YouTube
Enhancer for YouTube (some QoL features)
SponsorBlock for YouTube (skip sponsor parts in videos)
YouTube Auto Like (auto likes the videos you watch, depending on what you decide in the settings)
Youtube NonStop (no more "Video Paused. Continue Watching?")
QoL
Rikaichamp (translate Japanese on hover)
Augmented Steam (to check prices between stores, mostly)
Dark Reader (turn dark mode for select websites)
Firefox Translations (website translation, like Chrome and Edge have)
LanguageTool (to help me write fewer mistakes)
Metrification (convert imperial to metric on the fly)
Tampermonkey (to add some useful scripts to sites you want)
Visual
Firefox Color (to customize the theme)
Tabliss (new tab page)
Wide Github (change repos to be full width)
Stylus (add custom CSS to sites you want)
Mine's Redirector. I use it to force redirection of some URLs, for example:
It gets quite extensive for me by now
Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker
And a few additional ones for selfhosted apps like FreshRSS Checker
Consent-O-Matic wow, that's a new one that I'll definitely use. Thank you!
Decentraleyes ... Nice! Never seen that one! I always suspected hosted libraries and the such come at a costs (like jQuery etc...).
Decentraleyes was good but has been unmaintained for quite some time, I believe LocalCDN is the current replacement.
I heard a lot about Decentraleyes but I don't really understand how it works. What does it do? I'd love to add another privacy tool to my arsenal! :)
Thanks. I didn't know this extension was possible, and now I have it installed.
I wish you’d recommended that commenters keep to “one extension per top-level comment,” making it easier to upvote the best ones 😅
Anyway, my “one pick” is definitely Tridactyl — a thorough, absurdly powerful poweruser-mode for FireFox based in Vi-like modal interaction.
https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl
I used to used a *dactyl plugin (can’t remember which one exactly, I remember there being a couple) for FF before Mozilla switched to the new plugin framework and it was fantastic. Since then I’ve switched to Vimium. Is there anything to be gained from tridactyl over vimium?
Firefox: uBlock Origin, Bitwarden, Simple Tab Groups, New Tab Suspender, SponsorBlock for YouTube.
One on Firefox that's super helpful for work is Simple Tab Groups. It lets me keep plenty of tabs open without it turning into a disorganized mess. Better than Chrome's built-in tab organization, imo.
I recently discovered STG, and I cannot stress enough how great it is! It takes a minute to set up with colors and group names. But, oh my, how great it is to have my Spotify, Last.fm, Bandcamp, etc, in a Music tab, all my work stuff in a Work group, all my general stuff (Facebook, Lemmy, and so on) in a Home group, and so on. Being able to toggle between them is so useful.
LibRedirect Alternative open source frontends, very useful to survive on sites like Youtube, Twitter, Imgur etc.
Voat - Reddit Comments on YouTube & Web Pages Not so useful any more, but you can read what Reddit communities have to say about websites
Snowflake Fight cencorship
Firefox: tridactyl, jumpcutter, sidebery (best tree tabs I can find), temporary containers, cookie remover
I use Tree Style Tab for vertical tabs. Clearly one of the best things one can do for browser productivity.
I was looking for something like that, thanks! I also followed these instructions to hide the native tab bar.
Here's my theme
Ohhh, I'm bookmarking this. This shit is cleeean
I just use these three.
SingleFile ! Best method of keeping pages for offline use !
or u can save the page using the browser menu.
sometimes this allows for smaller size. and also ability to crop out unwanted resources. but then the page breaks and having a resource folder is messy to deal with.
ublock origin, sponsorblock, return youtube dislike, clearurls and dark reader
I think uBlock Origin, SponsorBlock, and Dark Reader are my favs.
One i done see mentioned is OneTab. Allows me to take large groups of tabs and dump them to a text file, which I can also use to restore groups of tabs. It allows me to close entire browsers full of tabs but keep the links to prevent firefox from getting out of hand with ram consumption.
You can do something similar without any addons. Firefox allows selection of multiple tabs at once out of the box, and you can have it create bookmarks for this selection. You can then have it open all bookmarks in a bookmark folder at once.
Yeah I love this feature and use it all the time. Then I never look at those bookmarks again lol
You can. But I use bookmarks for specific things I need to re-reference. And i use it in a more permanent manner. Especially when I want to access across different synced browser.
When I’m doing research or troubleshooting I will often have loads of tabs and searches open. This allows me to “wipe the board” and keep going or keep links specific to that browser iteration. It’s basically a halfway house to bookmarks for when I’m deep in some research on a topic where in the end I may come with 5-10 bookmarks that I do group of authoritative links.
Mandatory:
Nice to haves:
Outside of ones already stated: Facebook Container is great. I have to use FB for work, so it's good to keep is separated from the rest of my browsing.
LibRedirect: redirect Website links to alternative frontends like Nitter, invidious, rimgo etc. - couldn't live without it especially on mobile where using Twitter without the app is really obnoxious
CookieAutoDelete combined with 'I still don't care about cookies': delete cookies the moment you close the tab if not whitelisted, also remove cookie notices and accept all cookies.
Nano Gestures: mouse gestures for navigating websites
How do you get LibRedirect to work on FF mobile? God I hate the Twitter mobile site experience.
You'll have to use firefox collections with either Nightly or Beta, add the addons you want to a collection and add the collection in ff mobile then you can use the addons. https://www.ghacks.net/2022/10/20/firefox-beta-for-android-now-supports-custom-add-on-collections/
I also had to export LibRedirect settings from desktop and import on mobile because the settings interface is borked (doesn't show instances to select). There is also Privacy Redirect addon which should work out of the box.
Besides ad/tracking blockers, my #1 is a dimmer. Helps the eyes! lol. Especially at night.
Unhook - Remove YouTube Recommended Videos - This one simplifies the YouTube experience and helps you to spend less time watching videos endlessly.
if you replace the "youtube.com" with "piped.video" in the URL, you get all the videos with no ads, no tracking, and no distractions.
Pushbullet - send stuff from my phone to my browser, or vice versa.
Camelizer - camelcamelcamel popup for Amazon browsing. CCC displays a price/time graph and lets you set alerts for when something is below a target price.
Youtube Playback Speed Control - I watch YT at 2x speed usually, sometimes 4x. This adds fine control and keyboard shortcuts for that.
Does YouTube Playback Speed Control work on other websites? I use Video Speed Controller, and it works on almost all video players. It's got shortcuts for your preferred speed, as well as for increasing or decreasing the playback speed.
I mostly just use NewPipe SponsorBlock on Android though, which lets you set a playback speed and it'll play all videos at that speed by default
I don't know, sorry.
Firefox (I am not going to repeat the obvious ones that have been mentioned numerous times):
Curious, what are you looking for in the ip info of a site?
I don’t actually care about the IP address, I am just curious if a website is accessed via IPv4 or IPv6.
I don't think I can live without Sidebery anymore, it adds a sidebar for managing and easily grouping tabs. Although it's really made my habit of not closing them even worse...
Thanks so much for sharing this extension. I was looking for something that worked better than the tab tree extension I was using. I also found a way to custom edit the userChrome.css to hide the top tab bar—which really makes Firefox feel like Opera. Love that.
Facebook container is one i use that blocks facebook tracking with tracking pixels for example.
Ublock origin Adguard Aguard Extra Bitwarden Privacy badger Tampermonkey Dark reader Sponsorblock
I don't use many extensions, but apart from the usual UBlock Origin I'll say something exotic: UltraWideo
Because sites like disney+ still don't know that 21:9 monitors exist so you have to force it to scale their 21:9 films to your monitor instead of giving you black bars on all sides
library extension forever until the end of time
Anyone have some favorites related to Lemmy or Mastodon? I've seen a couple that claim to make following and subscribing easier on other instances but I'm not sure if they are trustworthy.
Consent-O-Matic, it declines all cookie banners for you (or accepts you can decide it in the settings)
omg, I needed this so much! Thank you!
I love reading the responses to this question.
Can you explain how you use Pocket with your Kobo e-reader? Which model do you have? I have a Kobo Libra H2O and have never thought to use it for anything other than books I've checked out from the library.
It's quite simple. Create a pocket account at https://getpocket.com
Add some articles or Web Serial chapters to your pocket (easier with the Save to Pocket extension)
Add the Pocket account to your Kobo.
Sync your kobo.
It's such an under advertised feature of the Kobo devices.
Better but personally I don't like creating accounts on the kobo, would rather do on the desktop: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader
💯 - it's one of the reasons I chose to get a Kobo over a Kindle, I've mentioned the feature to friends and they had no clue that they support Pocket.
Something that I recently started to use is Raindrop.io. It's a cloud bookmark organizer and I find it really useful. And the extension is also really good with lots of features. I think it's odd that people don't know/talk about it!
What sort of benefits do you feel raindrop has over the native chrome bookmarks manager?
Based on a quick look, the biggest features it has that browser bookmark managers generally don't have is the ability to search within saved webpages and documents without opening them. Plus, you can share bookmark collections with other people. Sounds a bit like a modern rendition of del.icio.us
It works with many browsers, it has an awsome app for mobile, it has better customization and it's open source and privacy friendly enough for the average user.
For me it's definitely uBlock, tridactyl & tree style tabs
Bypass Paywalls Clean - It allows me to read articles on a huge number of sites without having to login or pay. I already have access to news sites I care about through legitimate means but for the sake of being able to quickly read something, this extension cannot be beat.
These are my current favs for safari.
Some of my favorite Firefox extensions:
uBlock Origin: The best ad blocker you can get.
Imagus: Enlarges images and displays linked images when you hover over them.
Multi-Account Containers: Allows you to create containers to completely isolate specific sites.
KeePassXC-Browser: Browser integration for KeePassXC password manager.
SponsorBlock: Skips sponsored video segments on youtube.
Hide Youtube-Shorts: Hides those annoying vertical videos on youtube.
Enhancer for Youtube: Lots of extra configuration options and controls for youtube.
I'm on Vivaldi so I don't know how many of these are available to Firefox. Leaving out all the obvious ones like adblocker, password manager, userscripts, etc.
Privacy Pass; do less captchas. Every time you solve a captcha, it stores a few "tokens" in your browser, essentially verifying you as human extra times at once. The next few times you encounter the same brand of catcha, your browser will "spend" one of those tokens to automatically be treated as high confidence, skipping the captcha.
Bot Sentinel; puts a little score next to people's names on Twitter, showing how often they've been reported to the Bot Sentinel site for various things like spam, trolling, or hatespeech; it's nice to know at a glance when you just shouldn't engage with someone.
Jiffy Reader; when it's enabled, hilights the first couple letters of every word, which is great for ADHD because it makes your automatic reflex be to look at each word one at a time, rather than skim the whole section.
Teleparty; watch netflix, etc, with friends, with a little built-in chatroom
Trim; show IMDB/Rotten Tomato ratings on netflix, etc, thumbnails; a real minor tweak, but I'm a big fan
Beyond20 and the VTT Enhancement Suite; specialized D&D addons that made playing online so much easier during the pandemic. Beyond20 pipes your character sheet macro rolls from D&D Beyond directly into Roll20, and VTTES adds all sorts of bonus functionality to Roll20.
can't live without:
That's it really, my needs are simple.
Also, TIL about "I don't care about cookies" so I'm tempted to install that, but I do sort of care about cookies... but I also clear them relatively frequently, so it's probably fine.
Ps I don't care about cookies extension was recently sold to Avast.
I physically can't use a browser without Vimium anymore.
The <T> shortcut alone makes Vimium a must, it makes switching between tabs so much easier. The only drawbacks of the extension I've found are having to adjust settings for the odd websites that have shortcuts and certain elements not working well with Vimium "clicks" (like the Lemmy sort order dropdown list!).
And it borks the YouTube shortcut keys, but I still love it. Incredibly useful when using a laptop/track pad.
Another for Ublock Origin
Youtube Enhancer
Imagus [enlarges images, great for my old tired eyeballs]
Ad Observer (run by Cybersecurity for Democracy project at New York University, it examines any ads you DO get to look for patterns in how advertising is being used to influence people on social media.)
To Google Translate (Highlight something and send it straight to a Translate page)
Does anyone know of an extension that let's you view privated subs on Reddit? I'm tired of the not being able to access important info because of the blackouts. If anyone knows of an extension or a TamperMonkey script please let me know!
This won't be possible. Best you can do is use something like waybackmachine to get a cached version of the page.
I find punching "cache:" before the url into google gets me the most recent comments. A lot of the time wayback will only have an archive of when the thread was created.
Shame, thank you though I will be sure to try the wayback machine!
More comments at https://beehaw.org/post/432185
Feedbro for RSS and LibRedirect for popular service redirects to other frontends
Sponsorblock. Makes YouTube, even with Premium, a lot more enjoyable.
What does it do?
Members of the community highlight built in sponsored segments and the extension/addon allows you to skip over them.
I literally cannot browse the web anymore without HoverZoom+
uBlock Origin
Read Aloud
FB Purity
Facebook Container
SAML-tracer (for work)
Oooh, I need to check out SAML tracer. Thanks!
Chrome:
Safari:
Sponsorblock is really cool! thank you!
What in the world was "eat the shorts"?
it removed youtube shorts a lot cleaner than ublock filters do. It was so seamless. I wonder what happened to it actually
For Lemmy:
Stylus. And then find Lemmy scripts on UserStyles.world to install into Stylus and you can change the look and feel for Lemmy to make it more like Reddit, or whatever. I currently use a combination of 'Better Lemmy' and 'Old reddit-ish Lemmy'.
For general browsing:
uBlock Origin for ads
Privacy Badger for tracking
For YouTube:
Enhancer for YouTube
umatrix. ..underappreciated imo.
take a shot for everytime sum1 mentions ublock.
get $100 dollars everytime sum1 mentions umatrix.
im still broke but wasted AF!
FoxScroller, I like to scroll pages while practicing music, which always impresses people. Gesturefy, gotta have those mouse gestures. With a tiny Windows program called NeatMouse I can do it all with the keyboard, too. Kinda off topic. Imagus, what is this clicking and opening crap? SessionSync is good for saving your tabs. Fun to see what you were wasting time on 5 years ago.
Gestures. Hover zoom images. Tab tree view.
These are all I use:
Edge on desktop:
Safari on iOS:
web of trust, or mywot. puts a little sign next to every link telling you if they're trustworthy. fucken game changer. botsight is a great one for twitter. and buzzkill, well, kills buzzfeed
Only barely related, but have you ever tried JiffyReader? It highlights the first segment of each word, which is supposed to help ADHDers focus on each word instead of skimming over whole sentences/paragraphs/pages at once. It does help me like, some.
Oh my GOD, this is a great recommendation! Thank you so much!
I love Read Aloud on FF. It has mobile support and also works with PDFs via some integration that they have available. It's great!

I use Grammarly, Facebook Container and uBlock Origin.
Facebook Container keeps facebook from spying on your internet traffic
Ublock + Sponsorblock are a killer combo I couldn't use the internet without. I also use keepa to see amazon price history.
If you already use Ublock, isnt another blocking extension (Sponsorblock) kind of meaningless?
